[Spell] Gathering Lumber from Fleshy Corpses

[Interceptor]

I need something that enables a unit to gather lumber from a fleshy (non-skeletal) corpse over a period like 15 seconds, after which the corpse should turn skeletal.

Gathered lumber should depend on the dead unit's health. I'm just completely stuck on that. Ideas?

 

[Vinz]

What health does a dead unit have when it's dead?

You can get a unit's maximum health by the unit-type of the corpse.

i think we can't check the unit type from a corpse...

the best way would be to use cannibalize and give the player lumber for each second the unit is channeling the ability cannibalize can only be cast on flesh corpses you can also adjust how long the flesh stays for

explanation :

after a unit dies, a corpse (based of any trees) will be created which have the Max Life of (Triggering Unit), and peasants can normally gather lumber from them, also i put pig there as a corpse, make it as a dummy (Locust and invulnerable) with infinite health and play it's death animation (though it's still stand after the peasant hunt them), but i don't know how to adjust the duration.

I'm dumb. That should have been the first thing to come to my mind. Thank you.

and how should the solution be ? i think we cannot use cannibalize when the caster already has full health points, it will say "hero is already at full health".

and again we don't know how much health point the unit type of corpses had, how we suppose to check them ?

i think this should be answered, so when anybody see this thread, they will get their answer right away.
